Led by co-founder and design director Rachaporn Choochuey, all(zone)—an architecture, urbanism and design practice based in Bangkok, Thailand—is known for its playful projects which reuse and recycle local materials in bold and innovative ways. Committed to designing built environments where people can feel at home in the world, Rachaporn and her team view the spaces they are creating not just as physical architecture but as platforms for people to convene, converse and celebrate.

“We are honoured to commission all(zone) to design MPavilion 2022,” said MPavilion founder Naomi Milgrom AC. “Rachaporn’s architectural approach to ‘the art of living lightly’ and creating spaces with people and the environment at the heart of her practice demonstrates how architecture and design can contribute to creating sustainable, equitable cities.”

When asked about the brief, Rachaporn Choochuey commented:

“We are very excited to be part of the dynamic energy of Melbourne and hope our collaborative efforts with MPavilion will inspire people to reflect more on how our built environment can help us to live better ‘together’.”
